Information

This information is part of the Modelica Standard Library maintained by the Modelica Association.

Two tanks are connected with a pipe:

  • Tank 1: initial level = 0.9 m, T = 40°C
  • Tank 2: initial level = 0.1 m, T = 20°C

Within 1.5 s (dependent on the flow resistance of the pipe) the level = 0.5 m in both tanks is the same, medium flows from tank 1 to tank 2. The temperature of tank 1 remains unchanged, the temperature of tank 2 is increased.
